in you get and off you go.
they normally take you on the magic roundabout for your first lesson.

Have a few beers beforehand. Calm the nerves.

You'll spend a lot of it talking. Well it depends who which company you've gone with.

I hit a kerb on my first lesson, like proper drove into it. But it was the instructors fault.
They usually take you somewhere nice and queit for your first lesson, with only a small chance of knocking down a small child, or maybe a shrew.

my first lesson was pretty much in the cul de sac outside my house, it was just learning the controls and other basics and clutch control.
clutch control is definitely the toughtest thing to learn although it depends on the car. my old clio had the springiest clutch EVER.

I hit the curb with a black kid's teeth. I got sent for jail for that one, where my old black headteacher and Star Fleet captain helped me change my racist ways. When I got out I became a good influence on my little brother but this didn't stop him getting done by a black kid in the school toilets.
True story.

It's a 2 hour lesson, if that makes a difference.

boo my attempts to derail the thread into American History X failed. You all suck.
I don't blame STFC4LIFE because he's probably too young to have seen it.
